Very excited for when Hugill & Morison score against us when we play them

They’ve also signed on loan Fosu from Brentford and Hjelde from Leeds and now signing an experienced Championship striker . I think they are looking up right now rather than back in our direction! They are taking the sort of squad boosting steps we should be doing
The January transfer window is probably of most benefit to clubs that are struggling and need to improve their squads at a stroke. 24 days gone, 7 to go. Don't tell me, our transfer committee next meets in 8 days' time.

I hope the players have more faith than the people on this message board

I'd replace faith with ability...

I'll admit I have no faith in the hierarchy of our club. The players will get my support when they are on the pitch.

Pretty much everyone's been busy in the transfer market apart from us and our 2 nearest neighbours https://www.lancs.live/sport/footbal...mours-25927960

It's just negligence now.
It is staring them in the face and they're doing the absolute minimum.
I'm questioning if they even want to keep us up at this stage.

Vinnie doesn't listen to anyone save for his mother providing it's true she persuaded him to return to blue.

If we don't sign a centre forward we have no chance. That's basically nailed on. They have to be fit, ready to play at this level and put the ball in the back of the net. I don't care how they do it, how pretty they are but if they can hold the ball up and get 6/7 goals this season, I think we'll be OK.
For that striker to score, we have to get Robinson and O'Dowda either side of him, so that means we need to sign a left back. That, or keep O'Dowda there, and sign a good winger. Again, the left back or the winger have to be ready. Signing young kids won't help, we've got too many of them and they won't shine in a poor side. They'll get brought down to our level.
Lastly, we should look to sign a centre mid that can do the unthinkable and pass the ball forwards. We need someone with legs and vision so that they can open teams up.
The squad is absolutely dire. It is really, really poor. Kipre, O'Dowda and Robinson could play for top half sides in the division. I'm not sure about anyone else. Wintle might look better in a good side but I'm not sure I see the same player as some people.

Yes, yes, and yes. All true. Sadly, that won't stop the club signing a youngster who's only played a handful of games (but is one for the future), and an arthritic left back who spends the rest of the season in the sick bay. You just know it's true.

Waghorn and knockaert to Huddersfield. I'd be really happy with either of those, let alone both.

Waghorn has 2 in 38 for Coventry, while Knockaert has been dreadful for 3 or 4 seasons.
